About LNER

The LNER (London North Eastern Railway) is the railway company that operates the East Coast Main Line, formerly known as Virgin Trains in the UK. Taking over from Virgin Trains East Coast in June 2018, we have ambitious plans to change the way rail travel is done. We want to create services that everyone loves, that our employees are proud to work for, and that our communities thrive. We kept our promise to maintain a seamless transition between old and new. On the other hand, we introduced a new model train 'Azuma' and started the future railway journey. Introducing more seating, more space and, above all, reliability, it's already been a huge success. Whether it's eating cake at your aunt's house, attending a meeting with your boss, or playing in the sand with your kids, we are with you make it happen. We proudly connect towns and towns, people and places. The southernmost point reaches London, all the way north to the following classic British cities: Lincoln, Leeds, York, Harrogate, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Dundee, Inverness. Each stop on the LNER is centrally located for easy travel. The new series of Azuma is even faster all round: from London to Edinburgh in just four hours! Why Choose LNER? Everything we do at LNER is aimed at providing a great experience for our passengers, colleagues and community. We put our heart into everyone’s journey. Together we are driving innovation and transforming rail travel. By being on time, having more trains and more seats, to the huge giant leaps in engineering like the stunning Azuma train. People, places and forwards top our list. We embrace the communities in which we operate, welcome change, and are determined to constantly improve the travel experience for everyone across the country. We are proud to be part of the team and it is because of that that we provide excellent service. Service is second to none as they care a little more.

  • How to Get Cheap LNER tickets

    Looking for the cheapest train tickets for your journey? We've got you covered!Check out the suggestions below and discover tips you can use to save on your next train journey.
    Book in advance
    Book in advance
    Most of the railway companies throughout Europe release their tickets approximately three to six months in advance, with many offering lower prices for early bookings. If you know the dates you wish to travel, it may be possible to secure cheaper train tickets from Milan to Rome by booking in advance.
    Split Tickets
    Choose a slower or connecting train
    On certain busier routes, it may be possible to opt for a slower or connecting train. Although it may take slightly longer than high-speed or direct services, you could potentially secure a cheaper fare if you have some extra time to spare. Additionally, you'll have more opportunity to appreciate the scenic views of the countryside!
    Travel Off-Peak
    Be open to flexibility in your travel schedule
    A significant number of train services in Europe are also utilized as commuter services, and as such, many train companies raise ticket prices during "peak hours" (typically from 06:00 to 10:00 and from 15:00 to 19:00 on weekdays). If possible, try to travel outside of peak hours to secure lower-priced tickets.
    Travel Off-Peak
    Use your Railcard
    National Railcards offer a 1/3 off eligible train tickets in the UK and can be a great investment if you travel a few times or more in a year.
